New: Polyester monofilament mesh for vacuum belt filters

GKD-WEAVEinMotion at the ACHEMA 2009.

With Vacubelt® 2015, the business unit WEAVEinMotion of GKD – Gebr. Kufferath AG proudly presents a new generation of filter media for vacuum belt filters. With Type 2015, the latest addition to the Vacubelt® family, GKD has now succeeded in making the filter belts used with great success in gypsum filtration after flue gas desulphurisation even better. A crucial new feature is that Type 2015 is made purely of polyester monofilaments and no longer with additional multifilament weft wires (Type 2035) or staple fibers (Type 2025). The pure monofilament Vacubelt® 2015 does not block up like the multifilament mesh may do, and thus supplies a consistently good filtration rate. Thanks to its smooth surface its cleaning capabilities are also even better. Furthermore, the new belt type excels in terms of great cross-stability and filtration efficiency.

At the ACHEMA 2009, the international exhibition-congress on chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology from 11 to 15 May in Frankfurt am Main, the business unit WEAVEinMotion of GKD – Gebr. Kufferath AG will be showcasing the novel Vacubelt® 2015. Come and see this innovative mesh for yourself in Hall 5.0, Stand F24-F27.
